Sometimes you just gotta add a little gold, right? Coming soon from the Gibson Custom Shop we have this 1968 Les Paul Custom Reissue sporting a light aged ebony top with gold back finish. As part of Gibson's 2026 Limited Edition Collection, this custom is oozing pure '60s rock and roll attitude.

This Les Paul gets its signature single-cutaway body shape from a maple top sandwiched to a mahogany body – a classic tonewood pairing Gibson has used for decades. The body is bound top and back and sports a ebony top and full gold back. The back of the headstock has also received a black stinger, we're big fans of that. The body is accented with nickel hardware, black Witch Hate style knobs, and a black multi-ply pickguard. To amplify its voice, a set of T-Type humbucking pickups are located in both the bridge and neck positions. These humbucker deliver snappy top end, clear midrange, and lovely low end. Tone can be further adjusted with each pickup's volume and tone controls as well as the 3-way toggle switch.

Meeting the body around the 16th fret, a mahogany neck is attached to the body in an authentic set-neck design and long neck tenon. The neck sports an authentic 1968 profile, not too round, but not to thin either. The neck is topped by a bound ebony fingerboard. The fingerboard is crowned with 22 reissue medium jumbo frets and 10 mother of pearl block inlays. Strings are loaded through the stopbar tailpiece and Tune-O-Matic bridge, rest in the slotted nylon nut slots, and are tuned to pitch with the Kluson Waffleback tuning machines. The headstock display the iconic split-diamond inlay – a signature detail on Custom models.

The entire guitar has undergone Murphy Lab's Light Aging treatment, providing the look and feel of a vintage instrument. Light Aging replicates 50 years of average play wear – a favorite guitar that rarely left home only for the occasional weekend gig. Finish checking, aged hardware, light dings, pick trails, finish flaking, and softened edges throughout are to be expected.

Complete with a COA and Lifton reissue case, this Les Paul Custom is just about as cool as cool can get.

Awesome Shelf for a Great Price!
The shelf is very sturdy and built well. I did not expect the quality to be so good. I honestly don't think you could build one with parts from the hardware store for less money. It was not very difficult to assemble, but it would have been easier if the were unions used with the pipes. I had to turn the whole shelf to tighten it. I also added some lights and the wires were difficult to snake through the pipes but I had planned on that not being easy. I did need help hanging the shelf. I don't think it can be done without help. I am extremely happy with the product and have got several compliments. Now I have to buy one for my mom because she likes mine so much. Shipping was super fast, it got to my house 1 day before I expected it. Thanks, I will be buying another one as soon as it gets back in stock

Looks great, not super sturdy
Size: 6 tier, Color: Black Brush Silver, Size: 6 tier, Color: Black Brush Silver
Putting the shelf together was simple and it looks nice. The shelf is not super study though. Word of advice, DO NOT use the drywall anchors that come with the shelf; buy your own. The instructions say to use a 5/16 drill bit and the included anchors. The anchors are terrible; the 5/16 bit was too big and the anchors went right through the wall when we tried to put the screws in. It was a huge frustration to put eight holes in the wall that we then had to patch up and repaint over because the included materials are terrible. Luckily a couple of the screws line up with the studs so it's fairly sturdy, but use our own anchors.

So good I bought two
Size: 6 tier, Color: Black Brush Silver
These shelves are GREAT. Why? They arrive in a compact well protected package, they go up in minutes, are super tall, and they look fantastic. The price is perfect. The components are not 'real' iron pipes (I've built my own iron pipes shelves before and it's extremely heavy), but some kind of lighter weight metal. That's fine by me! The shelves appear to be real wood (!!). If you buy cheap furniture you know what fake wood looks like. You can tell. Guests can tell. This is probably a pretty cheap wood but who cares--it's REAL, is stained nicely with a distressed look, and overall looks amazing once books and items go on it. If you are deciding between these and some cheaper similar thing, pay a biiiit more and get something with real wood. I just bought a second for my office and they'll hold my books, art, and speakers.

Perfect. Sturdy. Super easy to assemble.
Size: 6 tier, Color: Black Brush Silver
I don’t rate a lot of items but I’m in love with this one. I just received it today. It was packaged incredibly well, took 15 min or less to put together and looks amazing!!! I’m tempted to order another one for another room in the house. It’s sturdy, well-made and I can’t stress how easy it was to assemble. Great product, highly recommend. (The owners even sent a hand-written note thanking me for ordering - what a nice touch!) Edit: ordered a second one after living first one so much

Perfect industrial look bookshelf
Size: 6 tier, Color: Black Brush Silver, Size: 6 tier, Color: Black Brush Silver
Surprised how good the quality was for the price. Metal is real metal and wood seems to be real wood. Pretty much twist on and off each section to put together. No question it is a very sturdy piece of furniture. Bought it over other bookshelves because the reviews said it was solid … and indeed it did turn out to be very solid. I’m very pleased and would recommend. Now I just need some things to fill the shelves.
